Roselle Hibiscus from local food forest ❣️
recently have been learning more about growing edible and medicinal plants and actually started lots of seedlings with my husband like beets, sugar magnolia snap peas, dill and catnip to name a few. It feels good to have started them instead of anxiously putting it off!! Hoping for some sort of harvest 🤞🏼

💗 I'm so proud
I don't know what the journey is going to lead to. All I know is I want to start growing trees, herbs, and mushrooms
Pics: currently growing tomatoes, trying to revive my strawberry plant, and growing wildflowers to eventually press or do crafts with or idk

I have begun growing lettuce! I planted them about a week ago, I'm also fairly new to gardening so I'm super excited not having them die as soon as I got my hands on them. There's about 7 of 14 which have sprouted.
Where I live it is currently winter and the book I was reading said that they grow all year round which is why I chose to grow some. I think the growth in the box closest to the camera in the image above may be grass since I used mulch rather than potting mix.
I'm looking forward to have a full grown plant! I plan on letting some flower and harvesting the rest.

One week check-in!
Left to right in the top pic is arugula, radishes, beets, and chives (supposedly. there may be one single sprout there). The radishes are going apeshit! They also got visited by a worm when I watered.
Bottom middle is one of the new raised beds that will soon be worked into the system...two more are coming. Bottom right is my buddy boy Rubus, a blackberry that sprouted in the yard which I am hoping to tame like a girl in a movie connects with the wild stallion nobody else can tame. My first harvest is going to be one of those berries, and it will whip ass.
Next steps will be to get the other two beds put together and to flatten the ground in their final spots before filling with soil and fencing the area. It has been an exciting week watching little leaves poke out of the soil and I cannot help but find them super cute. Be they delicious or be they nasty and unproductive, this is still very exciting and I'm looking forward to playing in the dirt even more!

Getting Serious
I knew my gardening addiction was serious when I spent $60 bucks at Home Depot. Days and days spent adding peels and liquid fertilizer. Just to make sure the soil was becoming acidic, I even poured vinegar into it.
My back was still causing me a lot of pain. But, my garden project gave me a reason to get out of bed. I spent my first paycheck on that garden. It was a nice splurge: purple tomato plant, sage, basil and companion plant marigolds.

I’d like to start building a garden
One of the things I’ve been thinking about for quite some time now is trying out my green thumb. I’ve only really had cacti before and obviously those plants are pretty hard to kill even if you neglect it completely. Though with the current food prices rising like they are I’d love to try and build a little garden.
Maybe I’ll start small. See how I do with a tomato plant or maybe even some herbs. I’ve heard those are pretty simple beginner plants. Id love to see how it goes.
Does anyone have any suggestions? ♡

This heatwave in Texas is stopping my tomatoes and peppers from setting fruit. Kind of at a loss on what to do. Maybe just keep them alive until, like, September? Idk. I don't see things cooling off any time soon.

Slowly but surely, my front yard is becoming prettier and prettier. I did a bunch of weed whacking, put up the 2nd bee hotel we just bought, and set up a bee watering station.
After some more cleaning and planting, I think I'm going to get some cute decors for the garden.

Basic safety/responsibility tips for new witches ✨
-Always maintain adequate ventilation & precautions for anything burning: candles, incense, cooking, etc. Do not leave flames unattended.
-Make sure your herbs/aromatics are pet AND human safe. Check for allergies & read up on ASPCA guidelines.
-Read up on cultural appropriation in witchcraft. Smudging, hoodoo & voodoo, Kabbalah, etc are closed culture. Respect practices that aren’t yours to take.
-Pseudoscience is not magic. Magic is about empowerment, not coercion. Crystals will not heal your anxiety any more than a good book. Cure-alls don’t exist, and anyone selling them is a scammer, not your friend.
-Wicca is Not the only option for witchcraft, & was designed to be inherently transphobic, racist and antisemitic. Try to explore other witchy communities to see what feels best for you.
-You will make mistakes. That is okay. Be willing to learn and ready to accept the consequences.

IT BEGINS.
I have officially started OPERATION : SNAIL CORNER. This first part of my new gardening hobby is experimental. I'm interested in specifically finding out :
a) if I actually like this or not lol
b) what the experience is like
c) what pest activity to look out for besides deer.
The plots pictured are, right to left : arugula, radish, beet, and chive. There's also a little row of chive on the left side; since they're meant to be deer repellent I thought why not bookend the plot with them. These are all veg that should grow in this season, most pretty quickly, and importantly, I won't care if they totally fail. This is all learning, so these are all extremely low-stakes crops at this stage.
I keep staring at the plot from the windows of the house like an old man observing a construction site. These went in the dirt yesterday. I don't know what I'm expecting to see.
